GREAT VIDEO VERSION: https://bit.ly/4fx4R5q No one loves Christmas more than your friends at Scandal Sheet. But that doesn’t mean we can’t explore some obvious historical inconsistencies. Right? For example, why is Christmas celebrated on December 25? Only 2 of the 4 Gospels in the Christian New Testament even discuss the birth of the infant Jesus and NEITHER MENTIONS A DATE. But the Gospels do give us clues that the birthday was more likely in the spring or summer - and NOT winter. So, why 12/25? Join co-host Thad (a Catholic) co-host Anuradha (a Hindu), and regular guests David/Jill Grover (a Jewish couple) as we follow this star of Bethlehem’s holiday investigation. And don’t miss the hilarious cold open, “On The Road With The Maji.” (This is a popular replay from a December 2024 episode.) David’s amazing firm is Grover and Fensterstock.
